Ivo – a reimagined Unix terminal system

I have used emacs before and I did like having multiple shells open and the ability to copy many text fragments into the buffer. I use windows for my day to day work so I'm thinking about something more geared to that.

I want to be able to take the the best features from the command line, and the gui programs and package them up into something that just floats at the OS level. So that I use a keyboard shortcut to pull up a buffer that can grab text (or entire files) work on them and push the results back to whatever app/file I pulled it from.

I think DTerm (http://decimus.net/DTerm) is a step in the direction that you're describing...

That looks really interesting. I'm going to install it when I get home. If I'm able to be looking at a text file, launch DTerm with a keyboard shortcut, run something that modifies the file in place, and then have DTerm fade away then that will definitely be useful.
